The Best Room in the House

You guessed it, it belongs to London. We worked all weekend to get London into her big girl room, and we did it, or I should say James did it. Now this might come as a big surprise to everyone, but this project was actually James' idea. London has been talking non-stop about her 'pink and white big girl room' for weeks now (thank you Abbey and Kelsy). And so late Saturday afternoon, James took it upon himself to paint London's new room, take apart a crib, reassemble it into a full size bed, and move the rest of London's 'things' downstairs. Granted, this wasn't completed until Monday at noon, but nonetheless, it was quite a feat, and let me stress - James' idea. But he said it was all worth it when, this morning, after unveiling the finished pink walls, London walked around the room and said (and I quote), "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, I love it with all my heart....thanks for painting my room pink Daddy."

The transformation of London's room:

A move downstairs and two cans of pink paint later, and wa-la, a room fit for, well London!


Noble's excited about his room too!

Photo Shoot

London decided to try her hand at photography, and specifically asked me to put them on 'daddy's computer' (if anything is technical in any way, it automatically belongs to James). So behold the artists' work.

London took some keepers, let me tell ya.

An Honest Easter

So, I knew there would be some disappointed family members if I didn't post some pictures of London and Noble in their Easter get ups, especially since we were selfish enough not to spend Easter Sunday with them.
Now lets just pretend as you look at these beautiful, sweet pictures that they were taken Sunday morning, after a delicious family breakfast of homemade pancakes at which James gave a heartfelt retelling of the Easter story, and not that they were staged at the end of the day after all the 'festivities' had ended. And by festivities I mean, running around in what most would consider complete chaos, just to make it to Sunday school 15 min after class had begun (which, sadly, isn't too bad for us), and attending an Easter egg hunt at which I'm pretty sure my daughter had what you might refer to as a 'sugar seizure'.


London about to leap off the sofa, Noble looking concerned. Classic.









Happy First Easter Noble!


And you had better appreciate my efforts, dressing London once a day is enough to drive the most patient person over the edge. I'm pretty sure this was the 5th time to put clothes on the child, but I might have lost track.

Happy Easter!!

Quality Time

London loves her baby brother, and the feelings mutual. Noble is always very interested in what she has to say.







And if you can't tell, Noble just won't stop growing. At his one month checkup he was 10lbs 9oz. I didn't think the scale was accurate, so I weighed him when we got home, and sure enough, he's 10 1/2lbs!
